The Faculty then voted to approve "in principle" all the other Rosovsky recommendations--including plans for a black student center, a fellowship program for black graduate students, and a student-Faculty "search" committee that would try to find Faculty members for the Afro-American Studies department by next fall.

His partner, Blueboy, a shrewd, gamy con man, will play whatever role the whites expect of him with a comic and cynical flourish. His mistress, Kelly Sims, a college-educated chemist, bravely but quixotically banks her hopes for Negro progress on intellect.
